SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On November 12, 2008 (73 FR 66964),
EPA promulgated a revised primary and
secondary lead NAAQS of 0.15
micrograms per cubic meter (mg/m3).
Under EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR part
50, the 2008 lead NAAQS are met when
the maximum arithmetic 3-month mean
concentration for a 3-year period, as
determined in accordance with
appendix R of 40 CFR part 50, is less
than or equal to 0.15 mg/m3. See 40 CFR
50.16. Ambient air quality monitoring
data for the 3-year period must meet a
data completeness requirement.
EPA designated the Troy Area as a
nonattainment area for the 2008 lead
NAAQS on November 22, 2010 (75 FR
71033), effective December 31, 2010,
E:\FR\FM\20JNR1.SGM
20JNR1
28544
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 20, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
using 2007–2009 ambient air quality
data. The Troy Area is comprised of the
portion of Pike County, Alabama,
bounded by a 0.8 mile radius from a
center point at latitude 31.78627106
North and longitude 85.97862228 West,
which fully includes the Sanders Lead
Facility, the only point source of lead
emissions in the Area. EPA’s
designation established an attainment
date five years after the December 31,
2010, effective date for the 2008 lead
nonattainment designations pursuant to
CAA section 172(a)(2)(A). Therefore, the
Troy Area’s attainment date was
December 31, 2015.
On January 3, 2018, Alabama
requested that EPA redesignate the Troy
Area to attainment for the 2008 lead
NAAQS and submitted an associated
SIP revision containing a maintenance
plan for the Area. In a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published
on April 13, 2018 (83 FR 16021), EPA
proposed to take three separate but
related actions: (1) To determine that
the Troy Area is attaining the 2008 lead
NAAQS based on complete, qualityassured, and certified ambient
monitoring data for the 2014–2016 time
period; (2) to approve Alabama’s
maintenance plan for maintaining the
2008 lead NAAQS in the Area through
the year 2028 and incorporate the plan
into the SIP; and (3) to redesignate the
Area to attainment.1 No relevant
comments were received on the April
13, 2018, proposed rulemaking. The
details of Alabama’s submittal and the
rationale for EPA’s actions are further
explained in the NPRM. See 83 FR
16021 (April 13, 2016).

II. What are the effects of these actions?
Approval of Alabama’s redesignation
request changes the legal designation of
the portion of Pike County, Alabama,
that is designated as nonattainment as
the Troy Area, found at 40 CFR 81.301,
from nonattainment to attainment for
the 2008 lead NAAQS. Approval of
Alabama’s associated SIP revision also
incorporates a plan into the SIP for
maintaining the 2008 lead NAAQS in
Pike County (the Troy Area), Alabama,
through 2028.
III. Final Action
EPA is taking a number of final
actions regarding Alabama’s January 3,
2018, request to redesignate the Troy
Area to attainment and associated SIP
1 In the NPRM, EPA noted that 2014–2016 data
was the most recent quality-assured and certified
data and that preliminary 2017 data indicated that
the Area continued to attain the standard. Since
publication of that document, ADEM certified
complete, quality-assured data for 2017. The 2015–
2017 design value for the Area is 0.09 mg/m3.

revision. First, EPA is determining that
the Area is attaining the 2008 lead
NAAQS based on 2014–2016 data.
Second, EPA is approving the
maintenance plan for the Area and
incorporating it into the SIP. Third, EPA
is approving Alabama’s request for
redesignation of the Area from
nonattainment to attainment for the
2008 lead NAAQS. As mentioned above,
approval of the redesignation request
changes the official designation of the
Troy Area from nonattainment to
attainment for the 2008 lead NAAQS.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, redesignation of an
area to attainment and the
accompanying approval of a
maintenance plan under section
107(d)(3)(E) are actions that affect the
status of a geographical area and do not
impose any additional regulatory
requirements on sources beyond those
imposed by state law. A redesignation to
attainment does not in and of itself
create any new requirements, but rather
results in the applicability of
requirements contained in the CAA for
areas that have been redesignated to
attainment. Moreover, the Administrator
is required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable Federal regulations.
See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, these actions
merely approve state law as meeting
Federal requirements and do not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For this reason,
these actions:
• Are not significant regulatory
actions subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• are not Executive Order 13771 (82
FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory
actions because SIP approvals and
redesignations are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
• do not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• are certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• do not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• do not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• are not economically significant
regulatory actions based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• are not significant regulatory
actions subject to Executive Order
13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
• are not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• will not have disproportionate
human health or environmental effects
under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR
7629, February 16, 1994).
The SIP is not approved to apply on
any Indian reservation land or in any
other area where EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal
implications as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000), nor will it impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law.
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
These actions are not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by August 20, 2018. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposes of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which a petition
for judicial review may be filed, and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On November 12, 2008 (73 FR 66964), EPA promulgated a revised
primary and secondary lead NAAQS of 0.15 micrograms per cubic meter
([micro]g/m\3\). Under EPA's regulations at 40 CFR part 50, the 2008
lead NAAQS are met when the maximum arithmetic 3-month mean
concentration for a 3-year period, as determined in accordance with
appendix R of 40 CFR part 50, is less than or equal to 0.15 [micro]g/
m\3\. See 40 CFR 50.16. Ambient air quality monitoring data for the 3-
year period must meet a data completeness requirement.
EPA designated the Troy Area as a nonattainment area for the 2008
lead NAAQS on November 22, 2010 (75 FR 71033), effective December 31,
2010,
[[Page 28544]]
using 2007-2009 ambient air quality data. The Troy Area is comprised of
the portion of Pike County, Alabama, bounded by a 0.8 mile radius from
a center point at latitude 31.78627106 North and longitude 85.97862228
West, which fully includes the Sanders Lead Facility, the only point
source of lead emissions in the Area. EPA's designation established an
attainment date five years after the December 31, 2010, effective date
for the 2008 lead nonattainment designations pursuant to CAA section
172(a)(2)(A). Therefore, the Troy Area's attainment date was December
31, 2015.
On January 3, 2018, Alabama requested that EPA redesignate the Troy
Area to attainment for the 2008 lead NAAQS and submitted an associated
SIP revision containing a maintenance plan for the Area. In a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on April 13, 2018 (83 FR 16021),
EPA proposed to take three separate but related actions: (1) To
determine that the Troy Area is attaining the 2008 lead NAAQS based on
complete, quality-assured, and certified ambient monitoring data for
the 2014-2016 time period; (2) to approve Alabama's maintenance plan
for maintaining the 2008 lead NAAQS in the Area through the year 2028
and incorporate the plan into the SIP; and (3) to redesignate the Area
to attainment.\1\ No relevant comments were received on the April 13,
2018, proposed rulemaking. The details of Alabama's submittal and the
rationale for EPA's actions are further explained in the NPRM. See 83
FR 16021 (April 13, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In the NPRM, EPA noted that 2014-2016 data was the most
recent quality-assured and certified data and that preliminary 2017
data indicated that the Area continued to attain the standard. Since
publication of that document, ADEM certified complete, quality-
assured data for 2017. The 2015-2017 design value for the Area is
0.09 [micro]g/m\3\.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. What are the effects of these actions?
Approval of Alabama's redesignation request changes the legal
designation of the portion of Pike County, Alabama, that is designated
as nonattainment as the Troy Area, found at 40 CFR 81.301, from
nonattainment to attainment for the 2008 lead NAAQS. Approval of
Alabama's associated SIP revision also incorporates a plan into the SIP
for maintaining the 2008 lead NAAQS in Pike County (the Troy Area),
Alabama, through 2028.
III. Final Action
EPA is taking a number of final actions regarding Alabama's January
3, 2018, request to redesignate the Troy Area to attainment and
associated SIP revision. First, EPA is determining that the Area is
attaining the 2008 lead NAAQS based on 2014-2016 data. Second, EPA is
approving the maintenance plan for the Area and incorporating it into
the SIP. Third, EPA is approving Alabama's request for redesignation of
the Area from nonattainment to attainment for the 2008 lead NAAQS. As
mentioned above, approval of the redesignation request changes the
official designation of the Troy Area from nonattainment to attainment
for the 2008 lead NAAQS.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, redesignation of an area to attainment and the
accompanying approval of a maintenance plan under section 107(d)(3)(E)
are actions that affect the status of a geographical area and do not
impose any additional regulatory requirements on sources beyond those
imposed by state law. A redesignation to attainment does not in and of
itself create any new requirements, but rather results in the
applicability of requirements contained in the CAA for areas that have
been redesignated to attainment. Moreover, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions
of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to
approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA.
Accordingly, these actions merely approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and do not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For this reason, these actions:
Are not significant regulatory actions subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
are not Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory actions because SIP approvals and redesignations are
exempted under Executive Order 12866;
do not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
are certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
do not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
do not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
are not economically significant regulatory actions based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
are not significant regulatory actions subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
are not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
will not have disproportionate human health or
environmental effects under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February
16, 1994).
The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. These actions are not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by August 20, 2018. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
[[Page 28545]]
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
